From amazing effects like magnetism and UV reactivity to stress-relieving scents and DIY kits, there’s something for everyone. These carefully crafted works of art are made from Crazy Aaron’s very own secret formulas that transform amazing natural phenomena into highly designed products that are cool, collectible, and tons of fun!”
Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty has been keeping hands and minds busy for more than 20 years, and its Nuke-Con’s pleasure to welcome him back as a sponsor!

Gaming at Joe’s (another new face at Nuke-Con) sells board games and other board game related items, such as dice, dice bags, and jewelry.
“All my work has its roots in realism and the challenge is to accurately depict the images in my mind. My work ties together realms of reality and fantasy, with forays into the elements of the world around me. The goal is to create fantasy worlds that other people can imagine themselves traveling to…”
As you can see above, Joe is also an indie game designer, so when you visit his booth be sure to ask him about what he’s working on right now.
“My passion is to tell stories, making games allows me to take my stories and bring them to life, though either video games or physical games such as board games and card games. I have found that games have two benefits for people, they both allow people to come together and create a bond, and they also allow people to escape to that world and take a break from their day-to-day life.”
Joe has got a great display of his creations over at http://gamingatjoes.com/.

July 21, 22, 23 at the Mid-America Center.
Look for Nuke-Con staff helping out in the game room. We’ll have demos of a newly-shippped Kickstarter called Solani, along with Verdant and Akropolis (both of which are great for new-to-boardgaming folx!).
Lots of other games will be available, too, including RPGs, minis, and a Paint-n-Take table.
See you there!
Youth Pride July 14, Heartland Pride Festival July 15 at the CHI Health Center in downtown Omaha.
Come see us upstairs in the game room. We have a variety of games to play!
More information is available on their website.
Staffer Steve here,
I wanted to remind all you Nuke-Heads that our May Aftershock Game Day is but a few days away; Saturday, May 27th to be exact. Also as a reminder, you can read all about game details, times, location, and pricing details simply by clicking here.
And as the big day is almost upon upon us (you can feel the rumbling already), we’ll be closing out the game registrations at midnight on Thursday, May 25. So, if you haven’t yet and still want to, click this here link to register, schedule and list your game.
Remember, we’re also looking for donations (and buyers) for our Quick Sale Table of gently used games — click the link for details.
See you on Saturday!
“Staffer Steve” here, and I have two questions for you…
#1. Do you have any board games or RPG books you’ve been meaning to let go of?
#2. Would you like to help the Nuke-Con?
If you answered yes to both questions, well my fellow Nuke-Head, have I got some good news for you!
We’re trying something new at the May Aftershock by hosting a sale of “gently used” board games and RPG books. So, if you have such items that you’d like to donate, bring them with you to the May Aftershock, and we’ll take care of the rest!
On the other hand, for those of you looking to buy board games or RPG books at reasonable prices, then the May Aftershock is also for you!
It’s a win for everyone as the donators will get back some storage space, the game collectors will get games at good prices and all proceeds will help Nuke-Con fund future events!
So stop by the registration desk to drop off your donations and/or purchase donated items at the Nuke-Con Quick Sale Table. It’s as simple as that!
See you at the Aftershock!

There are one or two old posts floating around the social media world about Nuke-Con’s annual convention. While we love the engagement, we need to make a correction:
Bring your dice, your meeples, your terrain . . . and your friends! You can purchase your badges, and if you want to run a game (yes, please!) submit events to run on our website.
